Omg new faces scootin into bsky! 👀

Hi! I’m Juniper, an author of queer dark fantasy.
I also draw quite a bit & am hopelessly artistic 🤷‍♀️ Ask me about my useless degree & forty five random talents 🥴

I’m happy to meet new folks, so feel free to say hi back! 👋👋

🌈📚
Unfortunate to be working on multiple art pieces that I can’t reveal till next year 😭😭

They make games and movies like they used to. So many of them. Same with books.

But the mechanisms you learned about them were totally gutted and changed to only amplify shit that's already popular.

It's still there! You're just mostly on your own to find it.

Do you like vampires? I know people who write them.

@ardentgrove.bsky.social has vampires who like to take their shirts off (allegedly)

@tallimorgan.bsky.social also has vampires. They do vampire things

Alright. Today is my birthday (and tbh it has sucked so far). But. I promised a thread of books by friends. And I am going to make good on that.

Please consider buying books from friends today. Thread below. Storefronts may vary. I'm just linking where I know the books are.

Here we go!!

Revealing the new cover for 'Crossings' - art by krma and text design by Christina P :)

I'm thrilled with both! This cover is what I had in mind for the book way back when I first released it 10 years ago - it just took me a while to reach this moment :)

Well 😂 it depends. Traditionally I’ve done a drawing of Ohkai and Loba in costumes for about five years now? They always go for ‘low effort but matching/complimenting’.
Here’s a few of the past ones!
You may have to wait till next week to see what outfits they picked for this year 🤭 #LateNightWrite
October 26, 2025 at 3:06 AM
Yes! But I tend to incorporate more horror-adjacent elements to larger stories rather than strictly horror, as I find that more interesting to write. I mean, my main genre of interest is dark fantasy 🤷‍♀️ I like the spooks #LateNightWrite
#LateNightWrite Alright. It’s getting to be around that time... Do you or have you ever written horror? If not, do you sometimes inject any spoopy vibes into you non-horror work?
